Not a Chapter (Quick Update)

Hey everybody, so, real quick, I've been sick as all get out for the past like 5 days. I don't know what it was, but I was basically sleeping most of the time. I'm finally out of it, but now I have to work a little extra to fill in for the time lo...

Cheep!? 172

Sunlight glinted off of the snow in a scintillating display as the Wyldwalkers traveled through it. They’d passed through this winterscape on their first ascent to Riizen, but Niko still couldn’t help but marvel at the oddness of th...

Cheep!? 171

Niko and the rest of the Wyldwalkers stopped eating when Crowe and Camille walked in, Niko greeted them with a trilling note. Both looked, for lack of a better word, weary in their steps, though he could hardly blame them. They’d been...

Cheep!? 170

The city of Riizen bustled to repair the damages of the siege after so much had been destroyed between the Dawr assault upon the walls, and Sliver Peak’s Mountain King, Keranthun’s, breath attack. Beasts of all kinds strove to pile ...

Cheep!? 169

The warm air radiated off of the vivid reddish and beige walls and floor with their intricate, sweeping curving patterns that were set in the tiles and brickwork. In the middle of the courtyard a large, ten meter tall fountain burbled s...

Cheep!? 168

It was a slow and rhythmic noise that stirred Niko from his deep slumber, as if coaxing him to wakefulness. He recognized the sound as flowing water, babbling and trickling as if from a stream, and couldn’t help but settle in just a l...

Cheep!? 167

The Dawr Warlord, Ak’tash Bloodchild, held his hand tight to the still bloody, tender wound on his chest. That he’d even sustained it shocked him to his core, the fact that the bloody tier three bird had managed to injure h...

Cheep!? 166

In the center of Riizen, another fight was raging. The Dawr Invasion had been expected and none of the defenders were surprised to find that they were persistent, but they did not fear any possibility of defeat. They were proud, but the...

Cheep!? 165

“My clucking tailfeathers!” Niko cried out shrilly as he felt a slice cut through a portion of his thick, gorgeous tail-feather fan. With an unsteady wobble, no less assisted by the emotional damage just done to the Az-Phor...

Cheep!? 164

Trying to hold onto Sasha’s back was a tall order at the best of times for Dachna, but he was doing a great job of it. He supposed that having ridden with Niko previously gave him at least some kind of leg up for the job over...

Cheep!? 163

Niko bounded down the walls, momentum and flared wings keeping his descent controlled and swift. He felt his heart pump, blood energy rush alongside essence, and the roar of combat as it overwhelmed his senses. The closer to the ground ...

Cheep!? 162

Floor by floor the Wyldwalkers cleared the siege tower, progress speeding up every time they did so. Outside of the tower, Prince Nivere of the Greenscale clan rallied those freed up from their own defensive positions by the combined ef...

Cheep!? 161

Breaking the solidified mixture that kept the ramp into the siege tower closed was the work of a less than a minute for Mithel. The innards were large enough to house even Thokk, and held something akin to a stairwell in the back right ...

Cheep!? 160

Niko tensed as three siege towers trundled towards them, the two towards the back of the line were in far greater condition than the closest one. The first siege tower was scorched black as charcoal, thoroughly battered, and let out shr...

Cheep!? 159

As Niko flew over the wall that tapered to an almost sharp ridge at the top, he could see the war preparations in their fullest extent. While the various mines, barriers, and other obstacles were intended to slow down the enemies outsid...

Cheep!? 158

(Sorry for the delay! I'd thought I'd done the post this morning, but was mistaken. Here it is now!)

Niko raced through the air, one of several aerial combatants fighting over the Dawr lines, chased incessantly by arrows, sp...

Cheep!? 157

Niko awoke to the shrill sound of a ringing bell, he then banished any fatigue he felt with a wave of essence that jump started his body. Instantly, he and the others stirred, and it took Niko a considerable amount of self control not t...

Cheep!? 156

Niko knew that he shouldn’t be nearly as calm as he was. He knew that there were two godlike beings sitting in a room that he had a feeling was as much a part of himself as his own flesh and blood. He was also  aware tha...

Cheep!? 155

Through Riizen’s gates wandered in the exhausted – and of mixed pride – team responsible for having run guerrilla strike tactics on the Dawr coming in from the East. Theirs was far from the only group attacking the found forces, h...

Cheep!? 154

This time, the meeting didn’t take long, as it was decided up front that they couldn’t stop attacking just because of the warlord’s interference. When the rest of the teams eyed them hopefully, Niko almost felt guilty when Mithel ...

Cheep!? 153

The strike teams raced away from the Dawr, being certain to route through the trapped locations prepared beforehand. Given the explosions and distant screeches of pain and surprise, Niko judged that they were doing their jobs abundantly...

Cheep!? 152

The attack force moved through the titanwoods with purpose, fed supplementary information as they went from forward scouts that were dedicated to the task.

Niko was eyeing the forest in general when the lead squad moved next to th...

Cheep!? 151

With Niko’s patterns having unclogged, he wondered what exactly he was capable of. Beyond that, he suspected that Alterra’s blessing was responsible for the dramatic expansion he’d experienced. It would make sense, in a way, that ...

Cheep!? 150

Niko flew through the air, relishing the feeling of the wind blowing through his feathers, and the sheer freedom he had at every moment. Just a day ago, Niko had thought that gliding was close enough to flight, that he knew what it woul...

Cheep!? 149

The specific hall that the Wyldwalkers were led to was massive, though calling it the main hall was something of a misnomer. There were a few halls, and while the ‘main’ hall wasn’t the largest, it was the one most common...

Cheep!? 148

As the itching began to subside, Niko finally took Dachna up on his offer to look in the mirror. For several long seconds, he stared, incomprehensive of what he was seeing looking back at him.

“I… Wow. This is different.�...
